Long story short, I own both an Ally and a steam deck. Put windows on the deck day 1.

With handheld companion and the “cpu boost” option, I’m getting more frames in my games on the deck than I am at 15 watts on the Ally. Which in of itself is great news, however…

I need a rundown on a few things relating to changing the tdp on the deck in windows. Obviously handheld companion can do it but here are the questions.

  1. What is the default tdp the deck runs at in windows without any change? Is it the full 15w?
  2. I know changing tdp in windows can cause a ban in multiplayer games. Is this only the case if you change tdp after the game is launched or am I at risk as long as I have the tdp set to a custom limit using any software at anytime?
  3. Is there anything else I need to know about changing the tdp in windows on the deck?

Any and all help is appreciated!
